Kotick describes Activision bonus payments

Activision boss Bobby Kotick has talked up the importance of innovative behaviour at the publisher and revealed how studios can reap the rewards if their game is a success.

Asked by Forbes if a company-wide initiative to reward innovative behaviour existed at Activision, Kotick said: "Yes, because ultimately everybody directly participates in the P&L's of the games that they're responsible for, in a big way.

"So if you create a great game like Modern Warfare 3, which is coming out this fall, or Call of Duty: Black Ops, the entire team will make tens and tens of millions of dollars."

Or kotict will just withhold all bonuses again till mw4 is released, like they did with infinity ward after mw2 was done.

While people overuse the term innovative and innovation this gen. Activison is the absolute last publisher i would ever consider, to be the least bit innovative.

You can't even build a new engine for cod for christ sake, you want established yearly franchise releases that will sell millions regardless of game quality lvl.

Think you can use the billions made on cods, to develop new ips for a change and actually take a fucking risk on a original title. Not every game you make has to sell 5-10 million copies to get a fanbase going.

The more bullshit this retard spouts, the more i pity developers that work under this corporation, maybe ms, take two or ea, ubisoft will buy some of the studios/people when activison crashes and burns.
